Driven by the increasing water scarcity in the region, the high environmental cost of desalination and the unsustainable aquifer abstraction, the option to reuse Treated Water for applications beyond landscaping and irrigation becomes a necessity.
In 2018, Qatra, the University of Sharjah and the Sharjah Research Academy signed a Partnership Agreement to conduct a research program on Water Reuse with the objective to define a technical, social and legal framework
for the development of Water Reuse in Industrial, Domestic and even Potable applications based on successful examples abroad.
The Private-Public-Academic collaboration underway allows the partnership to replicate the emerging best practices from other parts of the World in this area of Reuse and will ultimately ensure that Sharjah achieves leadership in the Region on Reuse of this valuable resource.
